I'm trying to run this list:

Echo (Phantom)

- Veteran Instincts

- Recon Specialist

- Fire-control system

- ACD

Kenkirk (Decimator)

- Veteran Instincts

- Mara Jade

- Ysanne Isard

- Rebel Captive

- Engine Upgrade

Please bring your critique!

You will miss gunner unless using chiraneau.

Think determination is better on kenkirk to disregard some crits to be even more tanky.

Rebel captive and mara jade should be split between the ships IMO.

I could move Mara Jade to Phantom, and add Gunner to Kenkirk, but then I would have to loose FCS or VI (on Kenkirk) and dont add Determination...?

Echo

- VI

- Mara Jade

- ACD

- FCS

Kenkirk

- Ysanne Isard

- Gunner

- Rebel Captive

- Engine Upgrade

Personally I'm not a fan of Mara Jade on the Phantom as it encourages you to dump your Phantom at range 1 too often! VI on Kenkirk is useful as you get to choose who moves/shoots first (both ships at PS8). You can use the decimator to strip sheilds before rolling Echo's four (or five!) attack dice. Ideal for shield stripping.

Then how about:

Echo

- VI

- Rebel Captive

- ACD

Kenkirk

- Ysanne Isard

- Gunner

- Mara Jade

- Engine Upgrade

- VI

I'm not a big Echo player but I do think Recce Spec is the crew card for her to allow decent attack and defence.

If it was me I would put Recce Spec on Echo and drop Mara for Reb Cap on Kenkirk and call it a day.

38 Echo, VI, Recce Spec, ACD

61 Kenkirk, VI, Gunner, Isaard, Reb Cap, Engine

-99-

Nice squad actually, might have to give it a go!

This.

However, you could run into trouble against Admiral+Whisper.

You could go Determination then to soft-counter the Admiral's crits and Hull Upgr.

recon specialist on echo keeps echo alive a lot longer

Tried this list today:

Echo

- Veteran Instincts

- Recon Specialist

- ACD

Kenkirk

- Veteran Instincts

- Mara Jade

- Ysanne Isard

- Gunner

- Engine Upgrade

Got my *** kicked by a Whisper and a mini swarm.

Got very very unlucky with Echo and could have flown the Decimator better.

Next time I am going with Whisper and Oicunn!

I played a tournament with this exact list and went 3 and 1. If it hadn't been for a double crit that gave me 2 stresses in a row I would have won the other match as well as I lost by 5 points. With the Decimator with double stress I couldn't run and get the free evade. So got hunted down.

I also got extremely lucky versus a Han Corran list when Corran mixed up his maneuver dial and flew off the board. Leaving Han against two and I shot him down. I also faced a Chiraneau/Whipser list that terrified me but I was able to bait Whisper with Kenkirk with rebel captive and once stressed it took 2 shots to kill him. Then 2 on 1, I finished Chiraneau off without losing either of my ships.

My conclusion though: Mara Jade was not as useful as I thought she would be especially with Rebel Captive on board because she doesn't stress an already stressed ship. I used her twice in four games although she did stress Whisper which allowed for an easy kill. Also, like someone said... I sorely missed Gunner. My MOV wasn't great without it. I tied with two others but had the lowest MOV and ended 4th place.

Then how about:

Echo

- VI

- Rebel Captive

- ACD

Kenkirk

- Ysanne Isard

- Gunner

- Mara Jade

- Engine Upgrade

- VI

I'd drop Mara Jade, you don't want them to get so close.

With Kenkirk I might even be tempted to give Flight Instructor a run.
